title: 'Search Memories (v2)'
openapi: post /v2/memories/search/
---

The v2 search API is powerful and flexible, allowing for more precise memory retrieval. It supports complex logical operations (AND, OR, NOT) and comparison operators for advanced filtering capabilities. The comparison operators include:
- `in`: Matches any of the values specified
- `gte`: Greater than or equal to
- `lte`: Less than or equal to
- `gt`: Greater than
- `lt`: Less than
- `ne`: Not equal to
- `icontains`: Case-insensitive containment check
- `*`: Wildcard character that matches everything

```python Wildcard Example
# Using wildcard to match all run_ids for a specific user
all_memories = m.search(
    query="What are Alice's hobbies?",
    version="v2",
    filters={
        "AND": [
            {
                "user_id": "alice"
            },
            {
                "run_id": "*"
            }
        ]
    },

```python Categories Filter Examples
# Example 1: Using 'contains' for partial matching
finance_memories = m.search(
    query="What are my financial goals?",
    version="v2",
    filters={
        "AND": [
            { "user_id": "alice" },

                }
            }
        ]
    },

# Example 2: Using 'in' for exact matching
personal_memories = m.search(
    query="What personal information do you have?",
    version="v2",
    filters={
        "AND": [
            { "user_id": "alice" },

## Graph Memory

To retrieve memories with graph-based relationships, pass the `enable_graph=True` parameter. This includes relationship data in the response for more contextual results.
